I started looking for ideas and wanted to share my 9 favorite. Depending your house style, or just what appeals to you. I am sure there is something here for you. Get rid of that boring space with one of these awesome landscape pathway ideas. I’d love to know which one you chose and why. Make sure to comment below.
#1 Log “slice” pathway
#2 Mini boardwalk
If you like the rustic look, or even a modern flair, these boards are a great look. Place them together in a straight line for that modern landscape look.
#3 Herringbone brick
This look is amazing. A more traditional feel and one that takes a little more time to create, but the look is so worth it.
#4 Diamond stones, stepable plants filling in the cracks
This look is almost like a fairy tale to me. I LOVE it. It looks so professional. Others might think you have a full-time gardener working for you.

I love the look of a log pathway, but I don’t think I would use that idea. My husband and I have been talking about installing a pathway in our backyard, but we’ve been so busy recently. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to speak with a few professionals to get an opinion.
